Hi, the target audience would be heritage (monuments) professionals and volunteers. So what we would probably want to transfer, is enthusiasm for free knowledge, for collaborating with online movements, for sharing information. So it would be especially nice to share a story, I think. Not so much describing the whole competition, but taking out one aspect, and telling a narrative. In Italy, I suspect the story about how all the government institutions came together to work around silly legislation would be a great story. The size of Russia and the travelling involved might make a nice story too. I'm a little less convinced that the 'making our own lists' would come across well, but I don't know enough about that.
Yaroslav's suggestion for taking 'we have covered everything' might work too, in several countries. In the Netherlands, I could imagine a story about collecting the municipal lists (this involved calling them all, and collecting and converting them one by one). What other stories do you know about, that we could share?
